The  Library offers information resources for students at all levels and all disciplines.  Library resources are a key component of academic success.  Google and Wikipedia as research tools will not lead to acceptable research assignments, papers, or presentations.  The library’s reference and instructional staff is available to assist students with research inquiries.  We will have a library training session to familiarize students with the library resources.

You must reference at least 2 books and 2 databases when you write this report.  You might need to use interlibrary loan to get the books.  If you need help in the library, just ask!  They are super nice, and want to help you out!

WRITING TIPS FOR THIS REPORT:

• Remember to always mark the titles of artworks with “quotes” or italics.
